PESHAWBESTOWN – Christopher William McGrath, 35, of Peshawbestown, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, Feb, 24, 2016 in Traverse City.
    Chris was born on Dec. 31, 1980 in Colorado Springs, CO, the son of Patrick and Eleine (DeVerney) McGrath.
    He loved to cook and was a creative culinary artist making wonderful homemade concoctions like soups and sauces.  His family loved his BBQ sauces and Chris especially had a talent with hot sauces.  He enjoyed fishing, mushroom hunting, pickle juice, listening to diverse music, and fires (being quite the enthusiastic pyromaniac).  Chris could always be found swimming in the summer. Most of all Chris cherished his friends and family and loved spending time with them.
